Why The Texas Starting Strength Bar – 22 lbs / 10 kg Variant

Designed in collaboration with Mark Rippetoe, the 22 lbs / 10 kg Texas Starting Strength Bar brings the same instructional precision and feel as the standard bar, now optimized for the youngest athletes, beginners, or those focusing entirely on technique and high-rep learning. Manufactured by Buddy Capps and sold by Texas Power Bars, this bar combines decades of Texas handbuilt craftsmanship with coaching expertise, providing a safe and reliable tool for developing proper barbell mechanics. With a 25mm shaft, 4" center knurl, fine knurling, dual knurl marks, 5 ¾" loadable sleeves, weight of 22 lbs / 10 kg, and 65.5" overall length, this bar allows for approachable, controlled training while reinforcing correct lifting form. Its 190K PSI tensile strength steel ensures durability and consistency, perfect for repeated instructional or high-rep sessions.

10KG/22LB | Fine Knurling

Starting Strength 10KG Bar

Ideal for all ages & strength levels.

The Starting Strength bar lineup was designed in 2018 by Buddy Capps and Texas Power Bars at the request of Mark Rippetoe for Starting Strength Gyms. These bars are bare steel all the way, a comfortable 28.5 mm* in diameter with the best knurl in the industry. The collars on the SS bars were redesigned with a bigger (3.25”) **diameter, shorter overall length, which also increases the plate space. The collars and sleeves are machined to a near smooth finish. The shafts have a center knurl (20 kg only) and dual ring marks. The 3-bar lineup includes a 20 kg, a 15 kg, and 10 kg option for all ages and strength levels. A natural steel bar that will age gracefully with your gym, The Starting Strength Bar will be your favorite piece of equipment for decades.

Perfect bar for curls and for the girls

This 10KG bar is a life saver. It's perfect to use for the standing press because it can be unloaded below 45 lbs for the ladies in the group and up to 200 lbs for the more experienced lifters. It's also a great starting weight for training barbell curls. The quality is outstanding. It's missing a center knurl, but it's unlikely that anyone would need a bar this light for the squat so it kinda makes sense to leave it off.

For kids it’s a great bar, not intimidating

I bought this for the kids. For them, I would say it is a great bar. Small, efficient, light and not intimidating.

Starting Strength 10kg

Bought this for use as a technique bar. We love it. It is as fantastic as our other TPB's. The feel and quality are perfect. That's why we will keep buying only TPB.
